Asynchronous+Web-based

Defined: On-demand, online-based instruction stored on a server and accessed across a distributed electronic network. It can be delivered over the Internet or private local area network (LANs) or Wide Area Networks (WANs) where the content is displayed utilizing a web browser. Student access is asynchronous, self-paced, and does not provide for synchronous interaction between the instructor and the remote student. High-resolution images and video may be limited due to available bandwidth.

Navy Knowledge Online is a computer based learning program used by the United States Navy to deliver asynchronous general military training (GMT) to troops across the globe via the internet.
